I agree...... and as for the dues increase - when I first joined CR, dues with range use were $60 a year. With this years increase, the dues have almost tripled since then. Even my NJ property taxes haven't increased by three fold over the same period of time - which is really saying something. As for improvements, the only improvements I recall occurring, before last year, since I joined, are that they added the warning lights and buzzers for line changes and sand berms for the back stops. Which will naturally get people asking - where is the money going? ....... OK, I'm sure they are spending some decent money on the pistol range expansion, which is very welcome and needed, but when we say secrecy, why can't they publish the financials for the club, or Bach's salary? With the dues increases and all the new members, there's a lot of money coming in without a lot being spent on noticeable improvements - publishing this info, as Matt and others have suggested will reassure the membership that nothing funny is going on. After all, it's our club, and our money right?

I also appreciate you posting the information that you have, because we're not getting this information elsewhere. Unfortunately for you, you are receiving this shitstorm because we members have no where else to vent to unless we all want to write letters and snail mail them to the board, which seems like it wouldn't do much good anyway. Criticism should be looked at as a warning to the board that there is discontent among the members that should not be dismissed. Just like in a business, you need to keep the customers/ members happy or they will go elsewhere. I think Matt is being a little harsh on you, since after all you are just the messenger, but he is making some very valid points - the secrecy and Soviet ballots for the meetings and board members is not the way a club like this should be run. They like to tell us it's our club and to take care of it as such, but nobody feels that way because in effect it's not our club, it belongs to an elite few. It's no wonder almost no one shows up for the volunteer work weekends.

I agree, fun and cheap to shoot - get it!

He's big time anti gun, he used to incorporate his anti gun messages into his TV shows.

Yeah, already have a sizable stash of 39 for my other comblock guns, that's what makes this so tempting.... still going to have to wait though.

I agree

This^^^^^^^ Keep in mind NJ does not have the "grandfathering" NY has for pre 94 mags and guns - no mags over 15 rounds whatsoever, semiautos must be AWB compliant.

This is what I do with my PTR 91 - use non reloadable surplus ammo, there's enough of it around. It's a great gun, it kicks more that other .308 semi autos, but still a great gun to get. I've been tempted to get a PTR 32, but cash is tight right now, so it'll have to wait.

I've had this same problem with them delivering certified mail at my office, we're inside all day and they don't even try to get out of the mail truck to get us to sign for it, rather they just leave a note in the mailbox saying we weren't there and that we need to go to the PO to pick it up. Since I'm not normally expecting or even want to get any mail that comes certified I usually never pick it up and it gets returned to sender. I'm sure whoever sent it is glad they spent $5 to send a letter that will never get delivered - yeah, it's a real wonder why they're going bankrupt.

They probably are getting audited or are preparing to be soon by the NJSP and was making sure the i's were dotted and t's were crossed when they noticed the incomplete COE. From what I understand some of the state auditors can be real ball busters, and this being NJ a lot of time they are looking for a reason to yank licenses - not that this alone would do that, but if they find other problems these things can add up.

If you have a hunting license or are with someone who does, you can shoot at the F & G range in Flatbrook WMA near Layton. Not exactly Bergen county, but free to use when you have a hunting license.

I will agree that this is a great improvement if it will minimize the range closures. But, ANJRPC's communication about most things, and especially the range is absolutely terrible. Why is it so hard to get someone to send out an email that this is going on? Printing a general announcement to advise people to call the hotline is 1980's methodology that most people aren't going to do. If it wasn't for this forum, I wouldn't have had any idea about these improvements for another 2 months until I got the newsletter - which I will agree with others, should be put online.

Your lender is most likely going to require this anyway.

I'm not sure, but I heard that a couple of weeks ago as well.

It's less complicated than it looks and is simple to fieldstrip. You take the butt plate off and the entire bolt carrier group comes out the back, making it real easy to clean. It does have an odd brass ejection system out the front that holds about 4 empty cases before it begins to eject them - not sure what the reasoning for that is.

Yes, the bolt doesn't hold open on the after the last round, but you can lock the action open manually if you want to - like a HK 91 style rifle. You're not dealing with an AK style action that is devoid of a hold open. If you're concerned about quick reloads, this rifle follows the euro style philosophy of putting the charging handle on the left side so you can reload with your left hand while keeping your right hand on the grip and near the trigger for faster return to shooting position. This works well if you are right handed.

The one thing you need to know about the FS2000 is that you must use at least a 30 round mag (and get it blocked, or C Products might still be making 15/30s) because any shorter mags will fit into the mag well but you will not be able to pull it out without enough mag exposed, this gun is not a drop free mag design. Other than that it's a great design, and both are very easy to take apart and clean.

Very true, but if a buyer went to the sellers house that should also me legal since I believe the law allows you to transport from a place of purchase to your home.

You are not a collector. I like to collect older milsurp, and 90% of what I own here or would like to buy is not available in CA. I can't agree with your Canada comparison, yes they don't have absurd import regs and you can get firearms mailed directly to your house, but the buying advantages end there. You can't own handguns with a barrel length of less than 4.11" (or something like that) and mags are limited to 5 rounds (IIRC). Put on top of that all the hoops you must jump through to buy any guns, I'd take NJ over Canada or CA - sad choices to have though. Also, the odds of CCW being forced on NJ in the future are better than the odds of CA being forced to allow the sales of firearms not on their "list"

Yes, that's what I was referring to. Buying handguns in CA seems like an easier process, but buying long guns in NJ once you have your FID (and yes I know it's a pain to get an FID in the first place) sounds like a simpler process. And again both systems suck and have a bunch of (probably intentionally) needless procedures.

Yes, if CCW is your main objective. If you are a gun collector, Cali is far worse than NJ. Either way they both suck when looking at gun laws.

You need to have a FID card and you both need to fill out a Certificate of Eligibility, he keeps one copy, you keep the other.

I highly doubt it, they will not sell any firearm that can accept a "high cap" mag directly to a NJ FFL. They would probably have to try to get it from SOG or J&G or one of the other rewholesalers.
